HANS A. SOHNEEKLOTH, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 244,488, dated July 19,1881.

Application filed March 8, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HANS A. SoHNEEKLoTH,

have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Anvil,Punch, and Shears, of which the following is a specification.

This invention refers to a combined anvil, punch, and shears, by whichahandy combination tool for blacksmiths and other metalworkers isobtained.

The invention consists in making the base and shank of the anvil hollowand arranging therein at one end a pair of metal shears and at the otherend a punching device, the punch and shears being operated by means oflevers and suitable actuating mechanism.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents .Lyerticallongitudinal section of my improved combination anvil, punch, andshears. Figs. 2 and 3 are end views of the same; and Fig. 4 is a detailhorizontal section of the punching device on line :12 ac, Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A represents an anvil of the usual size and shape, the shank and baseportion of which is hollowed out for arranging in the longitudinalcavity obtained thereby suitable mechanisms for working a pair ofshears, B, arranged at one end, and a punching device, G, arranged atthe opposite end of the anvil.

The fixed blade at of the shears, as well as the female portion 1) ofthe punching device, is arranged upon strong transverse base portions Aof the anvil, both being set into dovetailed recesses of 'the baseportions. The base portion A, below the opening of the female die I) isprovided with a hole of gradually increasing width, through which thepunchin gs are readily dropped.

The movable blade A of the shears is attached to the front end of afulcrumed lever, D, the rear end of which isconnected by a strong link,d, to a fulcrumed lever, D, which carries the male die I) of thepunching device 0. The fulcrumed lever D is connected by a pivot-link,c, with a vertically-guided block, 0, in which is formed the socket forthe male. portion b of the punch, said block being guided by beveledchecks of the side walls of the anvil and by an angular front plate, 0

which extends transversely from one side wall of the anvil to the other,and which is firmly secured thereto by screws or otherwise, as shownclearly in Figs. 3 and 4.

The pivot-link 6 serves to raise the block 0, while a solid piece, ewhich is retained by its rounded-off ends in concave seats of thelever Dand block 0, serves to lower the block e, so as to force down the maleportion 1) of the punch. The inner end ofthe fulorumedlever D of thepunching device 0 is provided with a toothed segment, f, which mesheswith a pinion,f, keyed to the transverse shaft E of a lever, E, by whicheither the punch or shears are operated, according as the lever isthrown into one direction or the other. The shaft E is jonrnaled inbearings of the side walls of the anvil, and carries at its outer end asocket-frame, E into which the handle is inserted and clamped wheneither implement is desired to be operated.

In this manner a handy and compact combination tool for metal-workers,which serves as an anvil, punch, or shears, is obtained, which does nottake up more space than a common anvil, while also dispensing withseparate punching and shearing implements.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patentl. Thecombination, with an anvil havinga longitudinalcentral cavity, of a shearing device arranged at one end, of a punchingdevice arranged at the other end, and of intermediate mechanism foroperating the shearing and punching devices, substantially as described.

2. The combination of an anvil, A, having a longitudinal cavity at themiddle andlower part, shears B at one end, a punching device, 0, at theother end, intermediate fulcrumed and linked levers, D D, the lever Dhavinga toothed segment at the inner end, a pinioned shaft, E, and .anactuating-lever, E, at the outer end of the shaft, substantially as andfor the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed myname, in presence of two witnesses, this 19th day of February, 1881.HANS A. SGHNEEKLOTH.
